A selection of costumes from Julie Andrews' classic movie The Sound Of Music have sold at auction in California for $US1.3 million ($NZD1.62 million).
The garments included the main outfit worn by the Hollywood legend's character Maria, which was described in the auction handbook as "a heavy brown homespun Austrian-style dress with a wheat-coloured homespun blouse".
Floral lederhosen worn by cast members who played the Von Trapp children also went under the hammer at the Profiles in History auction at the weekend.
Another highlight at the auction was the sale of a costume worn by late actor James Gandolfini in his final scene of The Sopranos.
The outfit was placed up for auction before Gandolfini passed away and sole for $US22,000.
